Because modules contribute information to other modules, you can't get
by with an incremental approach.
Sorry, I don't understand. The registry could load and parse all
the module descriptors at startup for fast lookup without creating
proxies or parsing contributions. Only when someone asks me for
a service or a configuration, then I would do the real work.
As far as I understood this is also the approach taken by Eclipse with
the plugin registry. All the stuff you see in menus contributed by
plugins, all dependencies are resolved at startup time using the xml
descriptions. Only when you actually _use_ a plugin classes will get
loaded and objects get instantiated.
